ATI 2021 asking for BitLocker key after putting ATI on external usb drive
I'm using ATI21 in a 2TB Win11 pc with an external 2TB USB drive.
I made sure to use a clean drive and when I made my first backup I chose the option in Removable Media Settings tab to "Place Acronis True Image on media". I created the backup, shut down the pc and after 10sec I did a cold boot expecting to get the GUI that lets me recover using ATI. Instead I got the BSD with "BitLocker key required". The first time this happened the suggested fix was to disconnect any usb device. I did that, reset the pc and I got to my normal login.
I shut down the pc and did another cold boot without the usb drive attatched and I got the same BSD with same message about BitLocker except this time the fix was to go into my BIOS because the Secure Boot BIOS setting had changed! I changed it back but I still had to enter my key to get past that stupid roadblock.
So, I tried another backup session this time doing just the Restore volume which is very small and I chose the Option to "Place Acronis True Image on media (64)".
Shut pc down, cold boot, BSD BitLocker....
Any ideas? Anybody?
Thanks
because my BIOS setting had changed or because I had a new device attatched
